How to Use

1
Select Preferences > Command Stepper > Step forward or click its icon when you are ready to move forward to the next tool or menu command in the Command Stepper shelf.
The active icon in the Command Stepper shelf is displayed with a bright green inner ring. The red outer ring indicates the current tool or mode you are in.
Tip: You can also use hotkeys or marking menus to step forward through the commands in the Command Stepper. To learn how to set up hotkeys, use Preferences > Edit Menus/ Hotkeys. To define a marking menu, use Preferences > Edit marking menus.
2
Use the active command or tool as you normally would.
3
When you want to continue on to the next command or tool, select Preferences > Command Stepper > Step forward again.

Notes

  • If you select another tool or menu command from outside the Command Stepper, the ring around the last used Command Stepper item changes to a thick green ring. This is to remind you where you left off in your sequence of commands.
  • If the last tool in the sequence is active, the next Step forward command brings you back to the first tool in the sequence. See the following example.
